“By the way, don’t tell my son that I am back. I want to kill that Robin before I tell him.” Jayden Harris said viciously.
He is a family head, and also a father. Although his son is promiscuous and not a good person, he doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it. After all, he is also such a person. And no matter what, he is not someone outsiders can bully.
“Are you sure?”
Rolf Haynes felt something was not quite right.
But he couldn’t tell where this feeling came from, just like Jayden Harris.
“I’m sure.”
Jayden Harris nodded.
At this time, the servant, who is Andrew Harris’s lackey, came to Andrew Harris’s bedside.
“Whimper, whimper.”
Seeing this person, Andrew Harris struggled excitedly.
The fact that this person could come back meant that everything was fine.
The family was not destroyed.
But the next second, what the servant said stunned him.
“Young master, there was trouble today. That Robin was protected by a woman named Evelyn Hall. She said she is under Mr. X, codename Silver Fox. We, the Harris family, retreated. But don’t worry, the master said that he must capture that Robin before he sees you.”
The servant said seriously.
He worked for Andrew Harris, so he came to report the information.
And, Andrew Harris was stunned.
Under Mr. X?
That might prove his guess, that Robin is Mr. X.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Mr. X!
This name really made his scalp numb.
“Whimper, whimper… no… whimper, whimper…”
Andrew Harris struggled desperately, trying to signal to the servant that Robin is Mr. X and must not be provoked.
But the servant saw this and quickly comforted him: “Don’t worry, young master. The master said he will kill Robin, and he will surely do so. You can rest assured, the master always keeps his word.”
“Darn it.”
Andrew Harris wanted to cry.
You guys! Why don’t you understand, I’m telling you to give up on killing Robin, not to send people now, and keep saying ‘keep the word’, definitely going to kill.
In the end, when the servant saw Andrew Harris crying, he realized that he was anxious.
“Don’t worry, Young Master, I will immediately express your intentions to Mr. Roach. We will definitely dispatch someone to kill that Robin as quickly as possible.” After the servant finished his sentence, he left.
“Whimper!”
Andrew Harris cried as he looked at the heavy rain outside.
He was so tired.
The sky was still overcast, and the rain was falling sparsely. Many people were unable to sleep that night, especially those from the primary and secondary families who had a lot at stake in the upcoming auction.
The moment that would decide their fate was approaching.
They were not like those in the middle who could stay neutral. They had invested heavily in the primary and secondary families.
So they were very nervous, extremely nervous.
Roach family.
“You three, after you kill that man today, you can leave. From then on, my Roach family will set you free.”
Inside the Roach family hall, Ben Roach sat in the main seat, looking at the few people below.
Three people with weird looks.
After all, they had been locked up for almost twenty to thirty years.
Their appearance was grotesque.
Their sanity was nearly gone.
The three men had a touch of madness in their eyes: “Mr. X, huh? Good, we will definitely kill him, bring back his severed head, and then, bit by bit, eat his head, hahaha…”
Their laughter was somewhat hysterical.
It echoed throughout the entire Roach family.
It made the people of the Roach family shiver a bit, after all, these people were infamous murderers back in the day, their hands stained with countless blood. After being locked up for so many years, how intense must their killing intent be?
“Go.”
Ben Roach waved his hand.
Immediately, those three peculiar men laughed eerily, a glint of bloodlust flashed in their eyes, and they disappeared into the rainy night.
“Sir, did you really let those three out?”
The butler at the side, shocked in his heart, asked.
These three were infamous murderers. If they were really let loose, who knows how many people would die in St. Sunday tonight. Perhaps when they woke up tomorrow morning, they would be met with a scene of countless corpses.
“Yes.”
Ben Roach hit the table: “Our Roach family has no way back. Either we kill Mr. X tonight and surrender St. Sunday to South Land, becoming the top-tier family promised by Lord Whiteford. Or, we get executed by Mr. X tomorrow.”
“So, what does it matter to us what they do tonight?”
“What does the life or death of those civilians have to do with us?”
“We just need to ensure that our Roach family continues to prosper for millennia. That’s enough.”
After saying this, he looked at a loft in the back: “Tonight, our success rate is one hundred percent. Because tonight, that lord will also take action, and this time he has brought a person who makes people’s scalp numb.”
Ben Roach was full of confidence.
However, the butler sighed lightly: “That lord is indeed formidable, but he will not stop those three murderous maniacs. The more civilians die, the more the so-called ‘pro-war faction’s’ flames can be quenched. Tonight is destined to be filled with slaughter. Mr. X, this is all your responsibility. Why did you provoke the Roach family? Why couldn’t you stand with the peace faction? Because of you, so many people in St. Sunday will die tonight.”
He placed all the blame on Mr. X.
If it weren’t for Mr. X, the Roach family wouldn’t have sent out these three murderous maniacs.
If it weren’t for Mr. X, the civilians of St. Sunday wouldn’t be in danger.
“Alas.”
In the end, he sighed again, believing that Mr. X was a sinner.
Drip, drip, drop.
The sky was still raining incessantly, but compared to before, it had lessened a lot. However, the sky had darkened, creating a sense of oppression in people’s hearts. The streetlights flickered intermittently.
“Children, have you all gone to bed?”
Evelyn Hall stood in the corridor, asking Rosey Chambers.
The circumstances tonight were special, so Evelyn Hall had specifically asked Rosey Chambers to stay.
“Yes, they’re all asleep.”
Rosey Chambers nodded her small head.
“Let’s go then, let’s go to sleep.”
Evelyn Hall took Rosey Chambers by the hand and led her to a room in the orphanage. It was originally a storage room, but had been converted into her bedroom since she was rescued by Robin.
Even though the conditions were not ideal, she was not a fussy person. Being able to sleep was good enough.
Giggling and rustling, the two of them changed into their nightgowns and got into bed. Once in bed, Evelyn Hall held Rosey Chambers in her arms.
“What’s wrong?”
Rosey Chambers lifted her almond-shaped eyes, looking at Evelyn Hall. She noticed that something was off with Evelyn Hall.
“It’s nothing.”
Evelyn Hall’s body was shaking a little. The shadows of the past event had not yet disappeared.
That night was too terrifying for a twenty-three-year-old woman like her.
So, she had called Rosey Chambers over today because she was scared.
At that moment, a shadow appeared by the window, revealing a cruel smile, preparing to pull open the glass. That sound made Evelyn Hall’s body stiffen, shaking even more.
But the next second, a voice came out.
“Don’t be scared, I’m here.”
